Mr.Piper, I hope you didn't think that a counselor was going to save your marriage. That's not a realistic expectation. I went to a marriage counselor for a while. I learned a lot about myself. It helped me to take a long, hard look at myself, and over time, I began to see the pattern of bad choices I'd made in my life, especially when it came to men. I dated here and there for a while, even went with one guy seriously for 5 years. Marriage never entered the picture. That relationship ended about 26 years ago, and I've never dated since. I have two sons I raised by myself.

Back in the early 90's, there was a time when I thought, if I didn't have anyone in my life by the time I was 50, I didn't want to live. Yeah, pathetic, I know. I look back at that now and wonder, what the hell was I thinking? It took a while after my divorce, but I finally realized that I didn't need anyone to make me feel good, or make me happy. I was the only one who could do that. And that's the way I've lived my life since then. I like my life as it is...uncomplicated. No headaches and no heartaches.

I hope you can find some peace for yourself. Good luck.

Happy for ya, I’m to old to start again, death is my future....looking forward to it..

Single can be a blessing for those that are wired for it. I know I'm happier.
